Leupold BX 4 Range HD Rangefinding Binocular Lead

For 2023, Leupold has announced the introduction of its BX-4 Range HD rangefinding binocular. The new 10x42mm binocular fuses Leupold’s DNA engine and ballistics software with the optical performance hunters require and have come to expect from the company.

“The BX-4 Range HD combines the industry’s fastest ranging solution with Leupold’s unparalleled optical performance,” said Leupold Product Line Manager Eric Overstreet. “It’s easy to use, it’s incredibly fast, and it offers a clearer display than anything else in its price class.”

The BX-4 Range HD is built around Leupold’s Elite Optical System. It delivers excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and superb resolution and clarity. Its high-contrast red OLED display delivers visible range readouts in any light, and its edge-to-edge resolution makes glassing sessions easy on the eyes.

Looking for a ballistic solution that promises something as simple as range, dial, shoot? Leupold’s True Ballistic Range/Wind (TBR/W) technology takes precision to the next level by offering 25 selectable ballistics groups that account for your preferred cartridge, helping you dial in the exact range of your target. Using the rifleman's rule on an angled 600-yard shot could result in a 10-15-inch margin of error when compared to the dead-on accuracy of Leupold’s TBR/W. And with TBR/W’s 10-mph wind holds, you’ll have all the information you need to experience more first-shot hits. Combine that accuracy with the company’s Custom Dial System and you’ll be on target in seconds. The BX-4 Range HD ranges reflective targets at 2,600 yards, trees at 1,600 yards and deer-sized game at 1,100 yards.

“Hunters and shooters have been asking us to develop a rangefinding binocular for years,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development and Marketing for Leupold. “We weren’t going to come to market until we had the product that Leupold consumers both demand and require. The BX-4 Range HD is that product. Its rangefinding solution and optical performance are the best in its class, hands down.”

Further, it is ambidextrous. Left-handed users can access the easy-to-use menu and configure the unit to be operated with the left hand.

With an MSRP of $1,599.99, the BX-4 Range HD delivers superior ruggedness and is tested for extreme climates, and it is waterproof and fogproof. For more information, visit leupold.com.
